Pico Omnibus (Dual Expander)

by Pimoroni

Double up your GPIO pins and attach two add-ons to a single Raspberry Pi Pico with our expansive Pico Omnibus!

Struggling to choose which Pico add-on to go for? Pico Omnibus lets you plug in two Pico Packs or Bases at once*, or you can use the extra set of male GPIO pins to easily attach other devices, jumper wires or circuitry - very useful for prototyping. We've added useful labels to all three sets of connectors, so you can be sure that all those lovely wires are going to the right places. We've also thrown in some little feet to keep everything solid.

If two sets of GPIO is just not enough, why not consider the four slot Pico Decker?

About Raspberry Pi Pico

Raspberry Pi Pico is a flexible, low cost microcontroller development board from the folks at Raspberry Pi, based on their very own chip - the RP2040. It's easily programmable over USB with C/C++ or MicroPython, and ideal for using in all sorts of physical computing projects, devices and inventions - we're so excited to see what you make with it!

We've called our Pico-sized add-ons packs, as they're designed to attach to the back of your Pico as if it were wearing a very stylish backpack (or a miniature jet pack, if you prefer). We've also got Pico bases (larger add-on boards with a space to mount your Pico on top) and some other boards that let you do interesting hackerly things like using multiple packs at once - click here to view them all!

Your Pico will need to have male headers soldered to it (with the pins pointing downwards) to attach to our add-on boards.

Features

  • One landing area with labelled female headers for attaching to your Pico.
  • Two landing areas with labelled (mirrored) male headers for attaching add-ons.
  • 4x rubber feet
  • Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico.
  • 99% assembled - just need to stick on the feet!
  • Fully assembled.
  • No soldering required.
  • Dimensions: approx 94mm x 52 mm x 12mm (L x W x H, including headers)

Notes

  • * You'll need to check for data pin conflicts when using multiple Pico add-ons - the shop page for the add-on in question will list what pins it uses.
  • * If you're plumbing a Pico Base into Pico Omnibus, you'll probably want to do it via some male-female jumper jerky to keep everything manageable and to stop everything from being quite so upside-down!
  • The Pico Packs shown in the photo are not included.

A really neat and easy to use sensor package. Shouldnt take more than an hour to familiarise yourself with it as the library for it is pretty robust and easy to use. Added it to a project of mine (circuit python) and it works just as expected. I really like it!

A great little sensor that is almost 'plug and play'. Just plug it into a board like the Pico Breakout Garden and download the example program to get it going. You really don't need to do much yourself. That said, more accessible, improved documentation, detailing the methods used to set up the device and access data would help deepen understanding of the device and how to develop and modify applications using it.

Useful sensor with a choice of connectors for soldering. Worked seamlessly with a Pico W. Found the literature and information on the Pimoroni website somewhat arcane and less than straightforward to access, but plenty of help available on YouTube

Bought the BME280 breakout as a replacement for the BME280 sensor on an Enviro+ board that had gone awry. After checking with the excellent Pimoroni forum for help, I soldered the board to the GPIO header on the Enviro+ with the supplied header pins. I made use of the address selection trace on the back BME280 breakout board. All now works and is up and running the Luftdaten python script with a small change to the code to allow for the address change to 0x77. Great service from Pimoroni, ordered on Tuesday and arrived on Thursday.

Instructions on how to use it and set up are good. Got it all working without hassle and used it as a project to team my kids to solder, which went well. Readings seem to be accurate and correspond with other local weather stations in the year.

These sensors work as they should, I couldn't find how to access specific addresses using the pimoroni python library examples but a search led me to install the RPi.bme280 libràry (sudo pip install RPi.bme280) and I was able to read from two dme280 sensors connected in parallel using addresses 0x76 and 0x77.

Handy little sensor.. I am using this to provide a data feed to the magic mirror smart dashboard I have at home to keep an eye on indoor conditions. Fantastic. Try to keep the unit few cms away from the pi..it is quite sensitive to any heat.
